Hearing this, Ye Chen and the other five people, who had finally calmed down, once again set off a huge wave.
Carving blood marks on the dead people can be used to refine them into blood slaves. They have no intelligence and only obey orders. Such a method is too outrageous. It can be made almost with the power of one person.
An army, or even a race.
What's even more surprising is that the space they are in is extremely vast. This forest alone spans dozens of miles. There are countless spiritual beasts in it, and they are all blood slaves. It is unimaginable that the entire space is full of people.
When all the blood slaves are added up, what will the number be?
"Now I begin to understand why the Dark God Clan has tried so hard to provoke a conflict between the Saint Clan and the Nine God Clan. Such a race, ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and it can easily destroy a major God Clan." Ye Chen sighed repeatedly. At this moment,
Only then did he understand the horror of the Saints.
At the same time, Ye Chen also understood why he could not use the Ancient Tower of Eternal Sealing. This was because the spirit beasts here were all blood slaves and had died long ago. The reason why they were able to move freely was because they relied on secret techniques to survive. They had no souls and no vitality.
Naturally, it is impossible to enter the Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda.
"You just said that there are four guardians in this space. What do you mean?" Ye Chen calmed down the surprise in his heart and asked after thinking of what the old man in gray robe had just said.
"This..." The old man in gray robe turned his eyes and looked at Nie Feng and others, slightly embarrassed.
"They are all my friends. They already know my identity, but it doesn't matter." Ye Chen explained. The old man in gray robe no longer had any scruples and said directly: "Hundreds of years ago, the old master knew that he would inevitably die.
, he sank the Heavenly Blood Holy Mansion into the bottom of the sea so that future generations of saint youths could open the Holy Mansion and obtain what he had left in his life."
"Before this, the old master was also worried that the young people of the nine major gods would enter the Holy Palace, so he opened up such a space outside the Holy Palace and set up four directions. There are valleys in each direction.
There are guardians guarding it, and only by obtaining four keys from the guardians can the real passage to the Heavenly Blood Holy Palace be opened."
The gray-robed old man spoke slowly, letting the five people understand everything. The existence of this space was indeed as Ye Chen had guessed before. It was a place of testing. Only those who passed the test could enter the Heavenly Blood Holy Palace.
After all, the four guardians are all members of the Saint Clan and are full of hatred for the Nine God Clan. If young people from the Nine God Clan arrive, they will kill them without hesitation and prevent others from entering the Heavenly Blood Holy Mansion. But if
If it is a young man from the Holy Clan, they will directly give the key without any obstruction.
"The old master sealed the Heavenly Blood Holy Palace before his death in order to wait for the arrival of the young saints in the future, so that he could gain something and preserve the meager blood of the saints. Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, today, you, the king, will
Come here in person, it seems that God will not destroy our holy clan!" The gray-robed old man was extremely excited, and as he spoke, he knelt down again.
Ye Chen helped the gray-robed old man up and said with a wry smile: "We will talk about these things later. Is the key in your hand now?"
It has been two days since we entered this space. Within these two days, someone may have obtained the key. Ye Chen and the others can no longer waste time. Firstly, they must obtain the key and take the initiative, and secondly, they must leave here as soon as possible.
Go elsewhere to look for Liu Muyun and others.
"The key is in the valley. Please come with me." The old man in gray robe also saw Ye Chen's urgency. With a wave of his hand, he asked two men in black to station outside the valley. He stepped out and led everyone towards
Walking deeper into the valley.
The valley is not as narrow as imagined. The deeper you go, the more complex the terrain becomes, with twists and turns, and there are many blood slaves blocking the way. If you force your way into the valley, you will suffer endless hardships.
The siege, coupled with the wrath of the guardian, made the defense extremely tight.
Along the way, Ye Chen and the old man in gray robe were also constantly communicating.
The old man in gray robe has been guarding the Heavenly Blood Holy Mansion for hundreds of years and does not know much about the outside world. When he heard about the situation the saints are now facing, he also sighed helplessly. However, the old man in gray robe did not expect that Ye
As the king of the Holy Clan, Chen actually became brother and sister with the princess of the Ice God Clan, and their relationship was so deep.
Not only the Ice God Clan, the Four Elephant Ancient Clan, the Human Race and the Moon God Clan, these three major races all have a deep relationship with Ye Chen. They clearly know their identity, but they do not confront each other. Instead, they help Ye Chen without any reservation.
Ye Chen, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the gray-robed old man would have thought he was dreaming.
"Although I am the king of the saint clan, I am not good at kingship. How about I call you Xue Lao from now on, and you don't call me king, okay?" Ye Chen looked at the gray-robed old man, who spoke of him as a king.
, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The old man in gray robe was flattered and was about to refuse, but seeing how determined Ye Chen was, he did not dare to disobey and nodded sadly.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said quietly: "Mr. Xue, according to what you said, the entire space is under the control of the four guardians, then why don't you just take action and rely on such a large number of blood slaves to kill us?
, it should be effortless, right?”
As the saying goes, an elephant will be killed by ants, and this is true. Although those who enter this space are all powerful saints, once they face thousands of blood slaves who are as terrifying as a tsunami, they can only run away.
There is no resistance.
"The blood slaves in this space were all refined by the old master. As a guardian, I am not a refiner. I can only control six blood slaves. Moreover, our guardian has the old master.
The restriction imposed by the master means that you can only move within the valley, and you will never be able to leave."
Hearing this, a trace of pity appeared on Ye Chen's face. Xue Lao was so pitiful. From the moment he stepped into the valley, his future fate was doomed. He could only stay in this valley forever, or die of old age and loneliness.
, or be killed.
"correct!"
Something suddenly occurred to Ye Chen's mind. Light flashed on his palm, and a nine-story ancient pagoda immediately appeared.
"This is... the Ancient Tower of Yongfeng?" Seeing this nine-story ancient tower, the look of surprise on Old Xue's face could not be greater.
"Old Xue, do you also recognize the Ancient Tower of Yongfeng?"
Ye Chen was surprised, and Mr. Xue nodded repeatedly. He was so excited that he could not speak clearly, and said: "The Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda is the most precious treasure of my holy clan and the personal belonging of the first king. However, when the ancient war started,
, Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda suddenly disappeared. After that, although many people went to search, they all failed. I thought Yongfeng Ancient Pagoda had completely disappeared, but I didn’t expect that it was actually in your hands.
"
As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Mr. Xue's eyes, and he said ecstatically: "Could it be that you want to use the power of the Ancient Ancient Tower to lift the seal on me and take me away from this place?"
Xue Lao was a subordinate of the Holy King of Heavenly Blood and did not dare to disobey the guardianship task assigned by the Holy King of Heavenly Blood. But at this moment, he had already waited for Ye Chen and saw the hope of the rise of the Saints. Naturally, he did not want to be in this barren land.
Stay.
When he saw the Ancient Tower of Yongfeng, this belief that he wanted to leave finally burst out without reservation, allowing everyone to clearly feel it.
"The Holy King of Heavenly Blood is a super strong man in the ninth level of the Holy Path. I don't know if the seal he has set can be lifted, but let's give it a try." Ye Chen did not say anything, but he had a hint of expectation in his heart.
